Will injuries affect my spray tan?

by nicole

Question: I have injuries on my legs (scrapes, cuts, and bruises) from playing sports. will this affect my spray tan?

Answer: Bruises will just get darker along with the rest of the skin, but scratches which have scabs on them will become white after the scab comes off. My suggestion is, just keep a bottle of spray tan or a tube of self tanner handy and repair those places when they need it. For thin scratches just dip a cotton bud in a spray tanning solution and gently wipe over the white places.
If you have open wounds, I would either not have a spray tan, or if you really want to, put a waterproof band-aid over it.
